Abstract
In today’s economy, there is plenty of emphasis on the sciences and STEM majors as successful career paths but what about the Arts? This presentation will offer advice on how to successfully guide Arts students by understanding their unique needs and supporting them when they encounter challenges. These students are often misunderstood by campus resources, and it’s time to learn how to advocate for them. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn how to further advise Arts students, particularly those who struggle with combining their passions within the realm of higher education. While we will focus on Arts majors, this is also applicable to the Humanities, Liberal Arts, Social Sciences, and other non-STEM fields.
